Fuel filter system 89 7.3 IDI

Entertaining the idea of installing a fuel filter before fuel selector valve. Looking to see if anyone else has done this? What is the general consensus on a system to install?. Thanks in advance to all replies .

here's a video on how I installed my e-pump and R&D Dual Fuel Filter setup on my frame rail: 6.9 / 7.3 IDI Van Lift-Pump and Stock Filter Delete. | Upgraded E-Pump, Sensors, and Frame Rail Dual Filter. ? IDI Online

I didn't put it before the selector valve, because then I'd need to put two filters and pumps before each side of the FSV. Seems kind of redundant.

Unless you never plan to use one of your tanks, I would always make sure to put your pump and filter after the FSV.

Then you are thinking about installing 2 of them ... 1 for each Tank .... just remember that the pump will have to suck thru the filter.


Anyway a "Screen" before the Pump and Filters After the pump is preferred.

Thank you for your response and the video. I definitely like what you did. I agree with you in that the original design is riddled with flaws. Again, thank you for your response.
